The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
I have decided to make a home server but i have no clue what parts i need to buy or what parts would be good for this. I need multiple HDDs and something that dosen't suck a ton of power.
If its just going to be a file server type thing which downloads its content, then an atom based board is fine and uses very little power.
I have a ZOTAC board the DTX-mini I think it is. Has an dual core intel atom (without HyperThreading) and 2GB Ram, the board has a total of 6 sata ports, 2 primary, then 4 which use a on board controller.
I run a basic file server with the following running, Sab, SickBeard, CouchPotato and Headphones.
If thats the kinda thing your after then the atom boards are more than powerful enough.
